STORMThe air was gentle and cool outside, good for sunbathing. I stretched my legs out, and twinkled my toes, finding it funny that I was out here at Justin’s swimming pool, having the time of my life whilst there at the outside world-for this is what it seems like, like I was just in another world here-people were looking for me, hoping to get some bounty for capturing me. Yikes! What was taking my friends so long though? Did Kaden refuse to see them? Had he believed the reports about me? Well, I don’t think so. Yes. Even though I had just known Kaden in the space of a week or so, I could tell that he wasn’t fickle and easily bought over by some rumors. He just seems like the kind of person that would trust a little bit of more investigation into the fact. Or was that all in my imagination? For my sake, I hope it is not true. I hope that Kaden had taken Justin and Lucy in, and that the reason why they aren’t here yet was because there was a hitch in movement, or that things were ge
STORM“How do you do?” I ask Kaden as we settle down on the couch in the sitting room, after I had taken a fast bath in the bathroom upstairs and changed into clothes that covered my sweet places, although it couldn’t put off the flame that Kaden had already lighted on my insides with just one touch. It reminded me of the moment that we had had at my father’s burial ceremony. It had been epic. And although I wanted more, I wasn’t going to move on with him until I knew certain details of him. He even looks more mysterious to me now, to my friends too, because Justin keeps drawing a blank on him, despite his hacking and researching skills. We were still waiting for the feedback from his friends. I hope that it will be something positive. “As you can see, I am fine,” Kaden answered, a short smile on his face. Why was he smiling though? Like he had just won the lottery? It was that kind of smile. And although it looked hot on him, I was beginning to find it suspicious. Was this deal I a
KADENShe was speechless after my question about the whereabouts of her room. I knew where her mind had ran off too, and I liked it. I liked seeing her reactions to me. I shifted closer to her on the sofa, invading her space, needing to have a taste of her plump pink lips that have been beckoning on my attention since I had seen them at the pool area. That had been the moment when the flames had begun dancing, or had it been around all this while, subduded in the background since our hot make out section in the bathroom at her father’s burial service? But seeing her clad only in a bikini had resurrected those flames which were threatening to burn me up if I don’t have a taste of her now. She leaned back on the couch, her breath catching as she stared at my lips too. She wanted this. I can see it in her eyes. Quickly, not wasting any more time, I made my decision, not minding that someone could walk in on us right at the moment. I don’t think she cared too, or rather she didn’t rem
STORM“Where is Kaden?” Lucy asked me as she stepped into the living room after some minutes when Kaden had left. She must have taken that much time to avoid walking into the scene she had seen earlier. Behind her was a smirking Justin. Oh god. They were going to tease me to death for the remainder of today. “Don’t tell me you told him to leave after I had seen the hot romance that had ensued between you too. You did?” She inquired, sighing so loudly that I heard it loud and clear. She was obviously shipping for I and Kaden. Too bad the ship has long sailed, in different directions though. “How can you just thrust your benefactor out of the house because of some chanced romance?” Justin asked, stepping from behind Lucy to stand in front of me, his hands placed on his waist, the smile on his lips not leaving at all, even though his question was tainted with seriousness. “It was necessary.” I replied, shrugging my shoulders. “And besides he is just returning the favour. After all, I
STORM“How…what..uhmm..” I was sputtering now like a fool, not believing my eyes at who I was seeing here now. How had she gotten in? “You seem startled and speechless. My surprise visit must be too much a shock then. I had actually thought you would faint from fright on seeing me or that you wouldn’t be able to remember me, since it was only once that you had seen me, in your dream.” The woman, or rather the angel that I had seen in my dream some days ago, said. Now, she was without wings and was donned in a simple long sleeved blue gown that stopped at her heels. She was wearing blue ballerina shoes. How had she gotten here though? Did she just appear? Was she the force that had dropped the book on my bed or left the messages? “I had thought to come and go like the energy before, but I just thought it better that you see me physically. I am the force that kept the book on your bed.” She continued, and I nodded my head as if in a trance, subtly cleaning my eyes with my hands. To b
STORMImmediately I walked into my room, I kept the food on the table which was close to the bed, and sat down on my bed gracefully, counting the minutes until the angel showed up again. If someone had told me that I would ever be in communication with an angel, I would have told the person to register at a nearby psychiatric hospital or get his head checked. I wouldn’t have believed it or taken it seriously. But look at me right now, waiting in anticipation to talk with an angel, about to eat a food that was supernaturally increased just like the five loaves and two fishes we were told that Jesus used to feed five thousand people. Was this how it had worked? The supernatural increase? I started tapping my foot on the ground to a non-existent music, still waiting, not believing that I would be able to eat this food and let it digest properly if the angel didn't come. I must have waited for so much time because my stomach started growling in hunger. Oh god. Can I still wait? I wonde
KADENI banged my fist on the door for the third time, my anger rolling off in waves, not minding that Kim was right behind me. I knew because her scent was unique to her. The smell of lilies.“Kaden, are you okay? You have been…I don’t know…acting all frustrated since you returned from meeting Storm. Did something happen? Have the police manage to apprehend her? If that is so, it wouldn’t be much tussle to get her released, would it?” She asked the series of questions without pausing for one second, her vice tainted with worry. I knew that Liam must have filled her in on who Storm is, and my mild obsession with her. Was it mild now? I was acting like a raving maniac because of a girl that keeps giving me mixed signals. But I couldn’t help it. I don’t blame her either. She doesn’t know what she is to me. My mate. A fated mate. Lycans rarely had that.“Yeah I am fine. And no, nothing happened. Storm is okay.” I replied, turning around, a faux smile on my lips. But of course, Kim saw
KADENTwenty three minutes. That’s what it took before I saw Casper and Lent walk through the front door of the house. So much for five minutes. “What’s up? What’s going on? You sounded a bit hurried over the phone? Were you being chased?” I asked, immediately they took their seats in the living room. Kim said a ‘Hi’ as she strolled past the kitchen to the stairs. She was probably retiring for a nap. She needed it though. She has been up and running since morning. Liam had gone out to process Storm’s request. No not now. Don’t think of Storm, I chanted to my mind, refusing to let my frustration show on my face. I didn’t consider it the right time to tell my friends yet, and wasn’t ready for their questioning.“No, not at all. He was trying to escape the clutches of a young lady who thought him the finest being to ever exist.” Lent answered, laughing boisterously the next second, obviously re-living the memory in his mind. I looked at Casper, and the latter shrugged, not saying a w
